Sep 13 Kyrgyz Republic in a List of Countries to Visit from the Guy Who Travelled to Every Country in the World

Dreaming of visiting every country in the world? Meet Gunnar Garfors — he has visited all 198 countries before turning 40. In 2012 the list was already impressive — 85 countries and the exact same year a decision was made to visit every country in the world. That happened in May, 2013, and he became the youngest to travel to every country, only 37 years old.

Think how hard it is to pick your favorite country from 198 — this is how a list of 12 countries he thinks everyone should visit at some point in their lives appeared. What is interesting and pleasantly surprising for our country, it has made it to the list.

Stunning nature, colorful markets, and very friendly people, unless they think you are an American pilot who is likely to run away with one of their beautiful girls. Bring a cup for world-class vodka.
